Both show a healing range of 5784-6502; thus LH is not affected by SoI.

Sorry I wasn't able to get to it before launch Theck. With the baby being sick and my sister's wedding 12 hours away, I was just too tired to do anything when I got home and had time.

Re: A Call to Arms - MoP Mechanics Testing
Hotfixes that just went in:
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/2385 ... hot-fixes/
One of our goals with our active mitigation tanking model is that you have opportunities to trade significant survivability for more damage when maximum survivability isn’t required. For example, a Warrior could opt to use their rage for Heroic Strike instead of Shield Block or Shield Barrier. This damage gain is intended to be relatively small, and not worth the loss in survivability when actively tanking.
However, for Protection Paladins, this trade-off was much too lucrative. For maximum survivability, Protection Paladins are intended to use Seal of Insight, since it provides a buff to their self-healing, and also provides a significant self-heal on their melee in combination with Vengeance. Unfortunately, when using Seal of Insight, their damage was too low compared to the other tanks. When using Seal of Truth, their damage was too high. So, we’ve increased Protection Paladin damage in general to compensate for Seal of Insight’s relatively low output, while simultaneously reducing the damage of Seal of Truth to bring it into line.
Holy Wrath now deals 100% more damage.
Avenger's Shield now deals 50% more damage.
Seal of Truth and Censure now deal 80% less damage for Protection Paladins only.

If anyone has time, could I get some updated logs for AS, Holy Wrath, and SoT/Censure? Usual method: write down AP and SP, melee a dummy (any level) with SoT active and using AS/HW on cooldown. Repeat for 2 or 3 different gear sets (Naked, fully geared, and one or two somewhere in-between).

Re: A Call to Arms - MoP Mechanics Testing
My own data:
15868 AP
8512 AP
2052 AP
All using Maki's Mashing Mace
AS seems consistent with a flat 1.5x boost to both base and AP scaling, but since there's a bit of a range and my data set is limited, I"m going to wait for more data to fine tune it. For now we'll assume they just multiplied everything by 1.5.
Holy Wrath's base damage didn't change, but the SP scaling was doubled (was 0.91*SP, is now 0.91*AP) :
Censure's formula is consistent with an 80% nerf (was 107+0.094*SP per stack, is now 107+0.094*SP total for all 5 stacks):
It looks like SoT was reduced from 12% weapon damage to 2.5%, which is only a 79.17% nerf instead of an 80% one!

I think I have SoT down now, so it probably doesn't matter about the weapon. But it can't hurt to stick with the 1.6 white weapon that has a narrow damage range.
I mostly need AS data now, the rest seem fairly well-characterized.

Re: A Call to Arms - MoP Mechanics Testing
Looked like it. I only hit the dummy for a minute or so, but the abilities that caused the heal appeared to do so every time. I fired off HW, Cons, AS and J from outside melee range/with my back turned to eliminate the chance of mistaking a melee swing proc for an ability proc. The ShoR, CS and HotR procs were identifiable by the amount of healing they did (was a different amount to the melee swing) and when I got 4 consolidated hits of HotR I got 4 consolidated heals going out too.
Combatlog incoming, I'll try to find an isolated place with a guard to get the heal.
Here you are. It isn't long, but should have enough info in it to either add weight to my hypothesis that it is a 100% chance, or confirm that we need to do more testing (i.e. I am wrong).

Using all 3 data sets:
AS minimum damage:
AS maximum damage:
0.975 is exactly 1.5 times the old coefficient (0.545*AP+0.21*SP = 0.65*AP). The base damage range is consistent with twice the old base damage (4488*1.5=6732) within error, so we can reasonably say that AS was just scaled by a flat factor of 1.5.
AS minimum damage:
- Code: Select all
General model:
f(x) = 0.975*x+b
Coefficients (with 95% confidence bounds):
b = 6113 (6075, 6150)

Is there anything else you need me to test later today?
Also, it felt weird, but does SoI has a hidden threat component? I had an easier time keeping large groups of mobs with SoI than I did with either SoR or SoT.

Something to try for the future:
In Wrath, you could turn your character sideways enough to where your special attacks could hit a target, but your melee wouldn't. I haven't checked to see if that is still the case since testing in Wrath though.
